Folly Beach Charter Fishing! Deep Sea Fishing and Inshore Fishing in Folly Beach

You don’t want to miss fishing this time of year folks. The bite has been almost non stop for Redfish and Speckled Trout. The creeks around the inlet and Lighthouse are teeming with baitfish, and shrimp. The points, flats and grasslines are ideal ambush points for all of our gamefish. If you allow your guide to choose the target species and launch time you will likely have a productive, fun day on the water.

On our last few charters we have been successfully targeting Bull Redfish just off the beach and Speckled Trout inshore. The Bull Reds have been eating mullet, Pinfish and Blue Crab while the Speckled Trout have responded to Mud minnows, Shrimp and artificials. Along with the Speckled Trout we have been catching Flounder, Black Drum and plenty of inshore Redfish so a mixed bag has more often than not been the rule of the day. Follow me on Instagram for the most up to date charter results. You can also book directly online or simply call or text 843-696-4231 for information. Let’s get out on the water together!

August Fishing Report

Folly Beach fishing has been good recently as last week’s foul weather has moved on. We fished the day after the storm cleared the area and we had nice weather and calm conditions. It’s typical for the fishing to be very good after a major storm and this time around we had excellent fishing conditions. The water was still a little cloudy but that didn’t discourage the fish from biting. Bait is flush in the system in our waters again it should stay through the end of December.

The big Bull Redfish are hanging around the jetties and deep holes in the harbor. Those fish will be here until early fall. So if you want to fight big fish, book an inshore trip and let’s get after them! We are catching those Bull Reds on Blue Crab, Menhaden, Mullet and cut Bluefish.

Shark fishing has been a crowd pleaser as these predators hug the beaches and prowl the inlets in search of an easy meal. These fish are strong and fast, and this time of year we get some big ones near our inlets. Inshore Speckled Trout, Flounder and Redfish remain a favorite target. We have been casting assorted live bait such as finger mullet, mud minnows and shrimp to our inshore fish while some schools of inshore Redfish seem to favor cut baits. We have had luck in shallow areas of the marsh either a few hours before low tide, or just as the tide is coming in.

Deep Sea trips are finding King Mackerel, Triggerfish, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack, Sea Bass and assorted Snapper. These trips are a lot of fun and you will never truly know what you will run into out there in the deep!  If you have any questions Text me at 843-696-4231 for a quick response. You can also book and check availability online 24 hours a day. See you on deck soon!

To Book Captain Kevin Blair

1. Minimizing light pollution is crucial. Artificial lights can disorient turtles, leading them away from the ocean. Visitors and residents are encouraged to turn off beachside lights and use red filters on flashlights if necessary.
2. Keeping the beach clean is essential. Litter can obstruct hatchlings’ paths and pose a danger to turtles.
3. Filling in holes dug in the sand and flattening sandcastles can prevent turtles from getting trapped or injured.

For those who are inspired to do more, volunteering with local conservation groups is a fantastic way to contribute. Through their beach patrols, these groups monitor nests, assist hatchlings, and educate the public about sea turtle conservation. By participating in these efforts, you not only help protect these magnificent creatures but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the delicate balance of our coastal ecosystem.

Visit the Visit Folly Beach Facebook page for more information on how to help and stay updated on the sea turtle nesting season. Let’s work together to ensure that Folly Beach remains a haven for sea turtles for generations.
